Hello:
I'm assuming you're not getting any errors because you single quote the key bit of the dictionary. single quotes are as good as double quotes, and I actually think there's some significance which you use, but I'm not sure on that one--I'll leave it for someone else.

Hi,
I have lots of questions about the current Python exercise I'm working on, so I'll just ask one at a time. Hope you have lots of patience.
First question. I think I should be getting a compiler error but I'm not. I thought I had to put some sort of quotes around this code after the commas. Why is this compiling OK? 

ROOMS = { 'death': death,

  'princess_lives_here': princess_lives_here,

  'gold_koi_pond': gold_koi_pond,

  'big_iron_gate': big_iron_gate,

  'bear_with_sword': bear_with_sword

  }

Thanks.
